The time has come to reveal the list! My Top 10 EPs of 2016.
When it comes to finding cool R&B/Soul and funk groups or act in Ottawa. One band comes to mind which happens to be Souljazz Orchestra who are renowned outside of Canada. But when it comes to an indie or coming up the ranks levels, there isn’t any to list on my radar. It wasn’t until …
Split EP can be a good way to get newer audiences from two different bands. Case in point with Ottawa’s Kings Quest and Heavy Bedroom. Earlier in June they put out a split cassette with two songs each. One side you get the noisy lo-fi dream pop-rock sound of Kings Quest. On the flip-side, things …
We haven’t heard from Ottawa’s Blue Angel. If you aren’t familiar, they are an all-star band featuring members of Roberta Bondar, Boyhood & Pipahauntas.

It is the latest project by Pepi Ginsberg and with the help with Martin Crane (Brazos) started a label called Inscape Records. These four tracks are mostly synth-pop electro-dance music.
